More Details

The Quectel RM521F-GL is a 5G module optimized specially for IoT/eMBB applications. Adopting the 3GPP Release 16 technology, it supports both 5G NSA and SA modes. Designed in an M.2 form factor, RM521F is compatible with Quectel 5G module RM50xQ series, LTE-A Cat 6 module EM06, Cat 12 modules EM12, EM12xR, EM120K  series, and Cat 16 module EM160R-GL, which facilitates customers’ migration from  LTE-A to 5G. RM521F-GL is industrial-grade for industrial and commercial applications only.

The RM521F-GL nearly covers all the mainstream carriers worldwide. The module supports Qualcomm® IZat™ location technology Gen9C Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BDS, Galileo, and QZSS). The integrated GNSS receiver greatly simplifies the product design and provides quicker, more accurate and more dependable positioning capability.

A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant functionalities (USB and PCIe drivers for Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Linux, Android) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of eMBB and IoT applications such as industrial router, home gateway, STB, industrial laptop, consumer laptop, industrial PDA, rugged tablet PC and digital signage.

 

Key Features

  • 5G/4G/3G multi-mode module in M.2 form factor, optimized for IoT and eMBB applications
  • Worldwide 5G and LTE-A coverage
  • Supports NSA and SA modes
  • Multi-constellation GNSS receiver available for applications requiring fast and accurate positioning in any environment
  • Feature refinements: DFOTA and VoLTE (optional)

 

IMPORTANT:  Exercise extreme caution while installing MHF4 connectors to the modem antenna ports.  The ports are delicate and easily damaged.  Assure that the MHF4 connector is perfectly centered, level and aligned with the modem port.  The MFH4 connector will then snap into place using minimum pressure. Do not apply excessive force.
A damaged modem connector port is not covered under warranty.

NOTE: Cellular service providers may require activating a specific data plan to use on a cellular internet device.   The carriers are constantly updating and/or modifying existing cellular plans.   It is the customer’s sole responsibility to assure a compatible cellular plan is available prior to purchasing cellular related components. Due to the nature of our products we do not offer refunds or returns on any of our products. We do always offer support and like for like exchange on any product that does not function as the manufacturer intended. Please see our official return policy.

It is strongly recommended to invest in a quality power strip surge protector (i.e., APC, Belkin,…) to use behind a router and/or electronic equipment.  This will help protect against Transients (momentary spikes/surges in voltage or current) that can be detrimental to expensive equipment.  Transient damage to modems are not covered under warranty.  Protect your equipment!
